Editorial Review for Kate's Joint – by Susan Chenelle
In Short
The "vegi" burgers (and the full bar) are the main draws: ranging from the Super Veg-Burger with lettuce, tomato and Abijah's secret sauce to the McKate (two "un-beef" patties, special sauce, lettuce, dairy or nondairy cheese, etc.), with a pizza burger, chili cheese burger and a portobello mushroom burger as well. Soups, various fried apps, salads and sandwiches are also served. Come the weekend, locals pack the place for the super-sweet brunch deal.

Im not even a strict vegetarian and this is still one of my favorite neighborhood places especially for brunch. (get the tofu scramble) Good value. The food ranges from good-great. I've always had good service, even during weekend brunch. I was nervous about the renovations, I liked it the way it was, but I admit it looks good now. Note: this is a casual downscale place, grungy (but not dirty), and funky, in keeping with the neighborhood. If you like to be fawned over, care about how your food is plated, and like to pay a high price for upscale ambience maybe this isnt the place for you huh?
Pros: Food, relaxed atmosphere
Cons: none so far

I am vegan, and I like to sit at a bar, alone, and enjoy a meal. Naturally, Kate's seems like it would be a good fit. However, I have eaten here four times, and it is always a disappointment. I am done giving this place "second" chances. The ambiance is awful (lights too bright), the food is the equivalent of vegetarian "junk/fast food"-- nothing noteworthy in the least, they have a crappy wine selection, and when I am the only person sitting at the bar, I don't feel I should have to waive the bartender down to ask for another drink...nor do I feel that when I place an order and the bartender mistakenly packs it "to go", and I say no, i am eating it here, that they should sloppily scrape the dish out of the to-go container onto a plate right in front of me... go back to the kitchen and plate it properly! I gave the place the benefit of the doubt at first, but no more. Kate's is consistently bad, and I will not be going back.
